Cuppa anyone?

Here's 3 ATCs I made for the Tea Party for Two swap over at ATCsforAll.com earlier this January.




I liked the ducky tea cup so much that I was a little sad letting go of it. I didn't have time to make another ATC or I would have kept it! I mentioned this to the swaphost and she was so kind to stick a sticky note on my own tea cup and mail it back as one of my return cards! So the lil ducky is now in my personal collection of cards :)

Some oldies

A Room with a View.



The windows have "real" glass in them (gotte love acetate sheets.. however the acetate didn't like my heat gun too much when I was trying to make the ink dry faster.. hah!) and you can open them to "take a peak outside".

Happy Holidays



When you open the door of this cute little house, there's a piece of ribbon in there that reads "Happy Holidays". :)

I love this stamp btw. I've used it to create a handful of Christmas cards and will definitely be using it for more next year.

Stamping techniques swap

Thursdayevening I finished my cards for another swap over at ATCsforAll.com. I've already showed one of them, the Fassi Jewel card I posted 17 December. Here's the other two cards.

The background of this ATC is made with distress ink, spritzed water and perfect pearls mixed on my craftsheet then I dipped the cardstock in there. Once dry I stamped the background with a script blockstamp. Seal stamped with fired brick distress ink then embossed with clear powder to make it pop out some. Scriptstamp by Blockhead, other stamps by ClubScrap.


For this background I used a resist-technique using white ink for the flowers, then sponged on the other colors and wipped of with a tissue. Large dragonfly embossed with clear powder. All stamps are by ClubScrap (except for the lil red flower, I don't remember where I got that one from).
